[Tweaked 2.1]_bag_ Themes

OP
_bag_

I figured I would start a thread for my own theme work instead of posting in ciscogee's thread. Basically, I'm going to be working on making a bit of an amalgamation of his CM7ICS Epic 4G port with other themes. It's probably going to take awhile to get this to a truly complete level, but as I work through stuff (give me a break if it takes awhile, I'm new to this), I'm going to post new versions here.

My main project is what I'm going to dub "Ice Cream Alchemy". It's going to work from the CM7ICS Epic 4G port that ciscogee initially created and then build on top of ztkryan's Core Droid theme for the Droid Charge (see here) and others. I intend to keep the ICS flavor in terms of icons and color scheme, but move towards a generally cleaner/simpler XML base.

I'm well aware of these issues. However, I have a new job starting this week, so I don't have infinite time to solve these issues. I'll get to them as I can, and I'm more concerned about addressing immediate concerns (font colors are NOT important right now, getting a more consistent image/xml setup ARE important to me).

By the way, I don't use Messaging/Mms since I have Google voice, so send screenshots of what it looks like now and what you want changed for it. Because it's harder for me to test all my changes when I don't use it.

Yes sir... I respect that .. I'll try and get the screen shots to you.

New beta released. I've been tweaking the images more, but my next release is going to be more about reducing duplicate images and improving the XML in doing so. Also, I'd like for someone to confirm that I nuked the green from Messaging.

[beta03]Dialer and Contacts updated to be more consistent with overall look.Mms/Messaging updated, hopefully all green gone? (Someone please confirm)

This theme is gorgeous on my Strat - in fact, it's put me back to the stock dialer and made the whole experience a treat. I was already using ADW EX with kovdev's ICS icons, but the overhaul to the system UI makes the whole phone sleek instead of lumbering and oafish.

For whenever the future may be: there are a couple of system dialogs (Delete/cancel stuff) that show up as bright white text on bright off-white background. But other than having had to squint twice, see above!

If you provide screenshots of the dialogs and steps to produce them, I'll look into resolving that by time I release the next beta. UI consistency and less duplication of images/XML are my top priorities right now, so anything that affects either is something I'll definitely look into fixing.
